If we didn't think that, if we didn't think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that.
But we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political opinion, not just the rule of law.
And we can see that because we see how many times- You can choose which court orders you obey based upon whether you believe that point to be a political agenda.
No, no, don't put words in my mouth.
What are you saying then?
What I'm saying is we'll enforce the law and we're never going to break the Constitution.
That's not what I said.
I said I will never break the Constitution.
We're going to enforce the law.
Will you implement court orders when they tell you to stop?
You're making an assumption on court orders I haven't seen.
Will you or will you not?
I am going to enforce the law and I'll never break the Constitution.
I think, listen, if you're a Republican or Democrat on this committee, you should be really, really freaked out.
We should be really concerned about the rulings that come out of the courts and how often they get overturned.
Our federal system falls apart if you are telling me that you- They fall apart when you have a judge that makes a political opinion from a bench and they're outside the law too.
Not all judges are above the law, but sometimes they think they are.
That's why we see lower courts get overturned by higher courts constantly.
Access is not true.
And I would suggest they spend more time in their own prison system.
